EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative image from the 1880s, a gaggle of geese gathers around an old, weathered notice, their expressions conveying a clear sense of displeasure and shock. The season of Michaelmas, signified by the notice, has begun, and these geese are understandably unhappy about the impending fate that awaits them. Michaelmas, a medieval feast day celebrated on September 29th, was traditionally a time for the harvesting and eating of geese. It was believed that consuming goose meat during this season brought good luck. However, for these geese, the arrival of Michaelmas meant something quite different. The geese huddle together in a narrow, muddy lane, their feathers ruffled and their beady eyes fixed on the notice. One goose honks in protest, its beak slightly agape, while another tilts its head in confusion. The scene is reminiscent of a Victorian-era rural diary entry, capturing the stark reality of country life and the cyclical nature of the agricultural calendar. The image is a poignant reminder of the historical connection between Michaelmas and goose eating, and the outcry that such a practice would undoubtedly elicit from modern-day animal rights activists. The geese's shocked expressions and the ominous notice serve as a stark contrast to the idyllic, picturesque setting of the countryside lane. This photograph, with its rich historical context and evocative imagery, is a must-have for anyone interested in rural life, country traditions, and the quirks of Victorian-era customs. It is a beautiful and thought-provoking addition to any collection, and a reminder of the complex relationship between humans and the natural world.
